Southampton EPC ratings by band
Band C led the way among home EPCs lodged in Southampton between 1 October 2025 and 30 September 2026, at 52.8%, with band D next at 27.8%. Each band is shown in the table next to the England figure.
The figures come from table D1, for the Southampton council area, in the MHCLG live tables on energy performance certificates. Homes often get a new certificate when they're sold, let or improved, so this mix isn't the whole housing stock.

How to find a Southampton home's EPC
On the GOV.UK register, search by postcode and pick the address; it's free to view and save a certificate. Check the date, because an EPC lasts 10 years (how long an EPC lasts). If a home doesn't appear in a search, the EPC register page tells you what to do.
